The Neighborhood

Piazza Santa Croce is one of the largest and most famous squares of central Florence. The Basilica of Santa Croce, the largest Franciscan church in the world, overlooks the piazza. The basilica's most notable features are its sixteen chapels, many of them decorated with frescoes by Giotto and his pupils, and its tombs and cenotaphs. It is the burial place of some illustrious Italians, such as Michelangelo Buonarroti, Niccolò Machiavelli, Enrico Fermi, Galileo Galilei, Ugo Foscolo, Guglielmo Marconi, Luigi Cherubini, Leon Battista Alberti, Vittorio Alfieri, Gioacchino Rossini, Lorenzo Ghiberti, Lorenzo Bartolini, Pier Antonio Micheli, Bartolomeo Cristofori, and Giovanni Gentile. For this reason it also known as the Temple of the Italian Glories (Tempio dell'Itale Glorie). In front of the Basilica there is famous marble statue made by Enrico Pazzi decidated to Dante Alighieri, and formerly places in the middle of the piazza.

Niccolo was an incredible host! He sat down and gave us his restaurant, gelato, and site seeing recommendations. The apartment itself could not be in a more convenient location, right next to the Piazza Santa Croce. We accidentally broke a wine glass during our stay and Niccolo was completely understanding. I recommend this place highly to anyone visiting Florence

Niccolo was the host for our first Airbnb experience and couldn't have been better! The apartment was clean, fully equipped, perfectly located, and exactly as shown in the pictures. Niccolo's hospitality was unrivaled- he met my partner and I at the apartment for check-in on time and took a lot of time to help orient us to the apartment and the city. All of his recommendations were excellent- especially the restaurant recommendations. He even gave us a bottle of wine from his family's winery to welcome us and a cell phone to use for domestic calls or emergencies. Can't say enough great things about the experience- book with him today!

Niccolò was always swift and responsive communicating prior to our visit, and met us on time at the flat. He was meticulous in explaining the flat and the area to us, and had wonderful recommendations for what to do and where to eat, etc. It was terrific to have such a good introduction to Florence as we were only there for two nights. As a result of Niccolò's advice we have eaten the best coffee and pastry of our lives at a nearby market. Niccolò was also very warm and welcoming and we felt comfortable and at ease as soon as we arrived. The flat itself is secure, in an excellent location - we walked everywhere - clean and usefully furnished. If we had another weekend in Florence that's where we'd be staying.

Niccolo was a FANTASTIC host. The apartment was just as the pictures showed. Location was perfect. The best part however, was upon our arrival, Niccolo sat down with us and marked places we should visit, how to get around the city, and gave fantastic restaurant recommendations. A lovely time in a beautiful city!

Fantastic!
The word resumes the experience I had.
